Life Lately

Avery is in a sleep regression. Meaning she is napping terribly. It takes her so long to go to sleep that when she finally does pass out I need to be waking her up if u want her in bed at a decent time. It's annoying and makes me wanna pound mimosas double-fisted with brunch each day. The nap struggles are all too real. 

We practically live at the pool this summer. Like, my nose and cheeks are covered in (even more) freckles now and I've had to start wearing a longsleeve rash guard because I'd get this God-awful heat rash on the bend of my arms. Now I sport a hat for my face too and when I mentioned that I didn't like the sun on my neck Ariana suggested I find a water-proof scarf. Straight-faced. Smart ass. Then I told her I may as well purchase a full-on body suit of some sort so naturally she suggested a wetsuit. It should ship in 5-7 days. Kidding. Or am I? 

I'm like 90% done getting the house setup. I mean, Ill probably keep tweaking things up until the moment we move again because that's just me but at least the big things are done and it feels like home. Our washing machine (which we haven't used in three years because we stored it when we moved to England) squeaks like an SOB and as much as a new one would be nice I'm like, it works. Plus, I'd rather spend my money on things like champagne and wetsuits. Just call me Champage Mami. No, don't do that. That'd be awkward. 

A member of my brood wants to be homeschooled this year and I'm like dude, I barely passed pre-Algebra in high school, I don't think that'd be legal. But it is. Oh it is. So now I'm trying to find a curriculum that looks ideal and I'm thinking of having my Bachelor's degree dipped in 14Kt gold just to give me a little confidence boost. I'm telling y'all, Champagne Mami. 

Some ladies invited me to a book club and I was like sign me up!!! But then I learned a little more about this book club...it was, in fact, a book club and I was beyond disappointed. Like, where's the $14 cheese and bottles and bottles of wine, bitches? In the past, 'book club' was code for we get to drink in a house rid of our spouses and children. Don't get me wrong, I love to read but reading only happens when I get to take a peaceful bath...also known as never. 

Welp, my non-napping baby is awake from not taking a nap so I'll be on my way. Hope this quick little update finds you well.

Xx,
